Melatonin: Is this all natural sleep aid bad for you?

For millions of people, getting a good night’s sleep just isn’t happening. In a desperate attempt to get the rest they need, many people have resorted to taking melatonin supplements, in hopes that they will help produce a solid night of sleep. On today’s show, however, Dr. Oz explains why these supplements may be causing more sleep issues than they are helping solve.

If you’re taking melatonin to get a good night’s sleep, you could be poising your body–even though this supplement has been put on the market to be “safe” for you. Today’s show will take a closer look at a variety of over-the-counter sleep aids, to help you make sure you’re getting the best sleep possible, in the safest way possible.
